Summer Term

Division of Graduate Medical Sciences Policy

Certain courses taken during the summer term at Boston University may be credited toward the MA and PhD degrees if prior approval is obtained from the candidate’s major department or program. The number of credits that can be earned in one session is limited to 6 credits. Graduate students who do not wish to enroll for courses but wish to complete a departmental requirement such as comprehensive, qualifying, or dissertation examination, or to use the University facilities must register for one summer term by paying the Continuing Student fee.
